Sad to say that many Polish people were and are Anti Semitic. Yes, some Polish people helped Jews, but don't kid yourself...not enough of them.

Please don't kid yourself. Yes, some Polish People helped Jews, but not enough. And as she says, there were Pogrom in Poland after the war.

That's absolutely not true! You have to learn english as a german speaker to understand it.

Years ago I had a great conversation to an old jewish man in Kiev. He spoke in yiddish and I in german. We had no problem understanding each other. Yiddish is closer to standard german than many german dialects!

@guitarplyr2255 The similarity between Yiddish and German is like the similarity between England and German. They are related, but still quite different and not mutually intelligible.
